Yeah I get this one too. I can’t focus on any particular person, struggle to make out what someone sat next to me is saying, even if talking to me, and makes me very tired after a while.

I’m gonna lick some mercury laced with cyanide, sprinkled with foxglove seeds. Betcha can’t lick more times than me!
Never mind, it didn’t really matter…

Thanks for your reply, nice and clearly described for my amateur physicist brain to follow! ;p I’ll reply in full when I’m less tired, but intrigued by your reply about time! In summary I think of it as a way of describing how something changes, rather than time actually existing. I.e. it’s relative to the energy the object has…so is a way of describing how much energy it has. I see you talk about black holes in a reply to someone else and my first thought is - the idea that time slows as your get closer (or is that a popular misconception?) relative to my thinking is that actually the particles are loosing energy, not time actually changing - and therefore would any particles actually catch up with each other as you describe? Let alone be observable to be moving.
And thinking about your last paragraph - are you not simply describing that object A which entered the black hole before object B, is simply is closer to the centre than B at any given ‘time’ which err doesn’t exist. And neither does space come to think of it. Space is the nothingness between something, so also just a way of describing how something changes or interacts with something else. E.g. 2 particles exert a force on each other and move closer together through an exchange of energy - space is simply part of a description of how much of the interaction has been completed, similar to time, hence why they’re thought of together and also as one and the same.
The distance thing is therefore how much force, what force and how strongly a force is being exerted rather than a physical thing.
Which (now a bit of side thought I had half an hour ago!) makes me think that black holes have no centre and the singularity is rather like the surface of a sphere, at which point all matter has no energy left to move - or perhaps its better to describe it that all matter’s energy is now potential energy due to the immense forces at work, a bit like a compressed spring.
Erm ok so I replied a lot in the end! I hope it makes some sense, I could probably ramble on some more but I’d better stop fir now! though I do realise there may be some concepts that I’m ignorant of that could destroy my thinking, so feel free to deconstruct!
I love how everyone goes “it wasn’t chiselled!” and my first thought is, someone probably wrote this for them/recorded it for the court (or ancient equivalent) is the actual issue with the post!
Please explain entanglement and how two particles can be inexplicably connected despite being gajillions of light years apart! Bonus question, do you believe time exists?
Oh dear lord that made me laugh rather a lot! This is my life now!
They’ll never let you diwn either…
Redfox8@mander.xyzto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•where can I find free Beginner Strength and Cardio program Videos?English2·5 months agoI haven’t used them in a while but Fitness blender has a good selection. You can pick options on their website - cardio/hiit/low impact etc. to find what you need. No over excitable workout leaders, nice and clear, straight forward vids to watch.
They used to be free, but looks like they have a large pay section now, with some free vids still there. They were all previously on YT too so look there as well if you like the style.
I cannot understate how insulted he’d be to hear that! Not least because he’s infinitely more intelligent than 2000 of those two!
Redfox8@mander.xyzto Archaeology@mander.xyz•Archaeologists discover 4,000-year-old canals used to fish by predecessors of ancient MayaEnglish3·7 months agoFrom what I know about the Mayans, I suspect few other places on earth would require it or be able to facilitate it. IIRC don’t think there are many, if any, rivers in the Yucatan peninsula, it’s very flat - though there are underground rivers that cut through the limestone bedrock. I expect almost everywhere else has rivers and lakes to not need to build anything or is too hot or dry, rainfall wise to maintain something like that. It’s not that far from the sea though, which is interesting, so maybe the type of fish hunted were a specialty?
At 45 i consider myself to have reached Pro-am status.
I believe the receptor cell responds to a particular part of the molecule in question. Artificial flavourings and scents have identical (or similar enough) parts to trigger the same response, but are otherwise different molecules.
But what came first? The jellyfish or the egg??!!
Redfox8@mander.xyzto Food and Cooking@beehaw.org•Without a fridge/freezer for a while. What should I cook?8·8 months agoVegetable stir-fry, curry or similar should be easily do-able. There’s plenty of fresh veg that will keep long enough out of a fridge or canned asian veg is decent. Tomato or pesto pasta. Stew made with canned beef isn’t bad. Omlette.
Do you have a cool bag/box? Grab a bag of ice and you have a fridge for a few days. Even a plastic box would do the trick.
Awesome, thank you! Sounds great - I thought smoked paprika may have been in there just by the look of it! Will definitely try it :)
There’s https://nautiluslive.org/tech/ev-nautilus who have a YT chanel with live feeds.
